Flags in Humboldt that are flying at half mast to honour the fallen in last weekend’s provincial tragedy will remain so during the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen’s passing at the age of 96 has triggered tributes throughout the provinces communities. 

While the City of Humboldt has not issued a statement, officials confirm that the City buildings will follow the protocol of flying at half mast through to sunset on the day of her memorial service. The courthouse, the Royal Canadian Legion and other offices will follow suit. 

Olymel will be sponsoring its annual fall barbecue in support of the Humboldt Food Bank. Tomorrow (Thursday, September 8), the Olymel crew will be out cooking the pork souvlaki burgers. Along with chips and a drink, the entire meal is only $10.

The cooks are also preparing special meals for 15 farmers. Those meals will be delivered to the farms for a special harvest repast. Local businesses have sponsored each of the meals, so those lucky farmers will receive their suppers free.

Saskatchewan’s New Democrats are demanding the government assures private schools adhere to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code. Speaking outside the Saskatoon Cabinet Office, Opposition Leader Carla Beck and Education Critic Matt Love called for the government to provide evidence as to whether the independent schools named in a civil suit regarding allegations of abuse were in violation of the Code.

Students in Humboldt and surrounding area are back to school on Thursday, September 1. There’s plenty of excitement in the air as kids will be looking forward to meeting their new teachers, seeing new (and old) friends and sitting at a new desk in a new classroom. 

What isn’t new this school year is a reduced speed limit in school zones. The lower speed limits are in place for good reason – school zones are hives of activity with the bustle of students, teachers and parents.  

Official Opposition Leader Carla Beck and Opposition Health Critic Vicki Mowat took an opportunity on August 25 to call on the Sask. Party government to reroute windfall revenues to rebuild the health system.

“Scott Moe’s Sask. Party finally announced what they plan to do with windfall revenues this week. They don’t plan to invest a dime of the resource boom to fix our collapsing health system,” said Beck. “We’ve been calling for affordability relief since March and I’m glad they are acting on those calls.”
